Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo descrever e avaliar os hábitos de atividade física, lazer e alimentação numa população dos 12 aos 18 anos.
Metodologia: A amostra foi constituída por 179 alunos, 103 masculinos e 76 femininos, do 3ºCiclo e Ensino Secundário, do Externato Capitão Santiago de Carvalho de Alpedrinha. No estudo foram aplicados dois tipos de instrumentos, um questionário para verificar o estilo de vida, adaptado de (Matos e al. 2000) e um registo das medidas antropométricas (peso e altura). No tratamento dos dados utilizamos a análise descritiva das variáveis, recorrendo às medidas de dispersão utilizando o programa estatístico SPSS, versão 20.
Resultados: Apesar de não serem significativas as diferenças entre os IMC e o sexo, os valores percentuais das raparigas são inferiores aos rapazes no peso normal (61,8% e 66%), baixo peso (21,1% e 22,3%) e obesidade (1,3% e 1,9%)). Quanto ao excesso de peso as raparigas ultrapassam os rapazes (15,8% e 9,7%). Na faixa etária 12 e 13 anos apuramos que existe uma percentagem elevada de alunos (41,7% e 36,7%) com baixo peso. Nos hábitos de atividade física, verificamos que os rapazes (17,88%) dedicam-se mais tempo (quatro horas ou mais) do que as raparigas (1,12%). Quanto à frequência (quatro a sete dias por semana) os valores são mais altos nos rapazes (16,76%), nas raparigas (4,47%). Na atividade de lazer, os alunos (62%), dedica diariamente ”entre meia hora a três horas” ver TV. A “Jogar Computador/Playstation” é de (43%) no item de “uma a seis horas”. Nos hábitos alimentares, referimos alguns dos resultados interessantes: o alimento com maior consumo diário foi o pão (82,7%), seguido pela fruta (76,5%). O alimento mais utlizado uma vez por semana, batatas fritas (77,1%). O alimento que raramente ou nunca é consumido leite magro.
Conclusão: Referenciamos a importância e a necessidade de implementar programas de educação alimentar e de promoção da atividade física direcionados para adolescentes, como forma de evitar as doenças e promover um estilo de vida saudável.
Aim: This study aims to describe and evaluate the physical activity habits, leisure and food in a population of 12 to 18 years. Methodology: The sample consisted of 179 pupils, 103 male and 76 female, of 3rd cycle and Secondary Education from Externato Captitão Santiago de Carvalho de Alpedrinha. Two types of instruments were used in the study: a questionnaire to check the lifestyle, adapted from (Matos et al. 2000) and a record of anthropometric measurements (weight and height). In the data processing we used the descriptive analysis of variables, using the measures of dispersion using the SPSS statistical program, version 20. Results: Although there aren’t significant differences between the IMC and the sex, the percentage values of girls are lower than the guys at normal weight (61.8% and 66%), low weight (21.1% and 22.3%) and obesity (1.3% and 1.9%).Concerning to the overweight level, girls surpass boys (15.8% and 9.7%).The study also shows that there is a high percentage of students (41.7% and 36.7%) who are low weighted, between 12 and 13 years old. We can also see that the boys (17.88%) spend more time (four hours or more) doing physical exercise than girls do (1.12%). As to the frequency (four to seven days per week) the values are higher in boys (16.76%), in girls (4.47%). Concerning to leisure activities, students (62%), daily spend "between half an hour to three hours" watching TV. 43% of the respondants mentioned that they spend one to six hours playing computer/ Playstation. Concerning to food habits, there were some interesting results to point out: the food with the highest daily consumption was the bread (82.7%), followed by the fruit (76.5%). The food which is more consumed once a week is the French fries (77.1%). The food that is rarely or never consumed is skim milk. Conclusion: By analysing the study results, we can conclude that it is extremely important to implement programmes of food education and of physical activity promotion targeted at teenagers as a way of preventing diseases and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
